House Update

The last month has been a busy time at Lydia's House! It was a time of transition - we welcomed a new guest along with her one-year-old daughter, and saw a former guest move on to independent housing. We had two big events - one birthday gathering celebrating three people at once, followed later in the month by our All Saints Worship service. Weekends were full of fun fall activities, such as a visit to a pumpkin patch and trick or treating on the night of Halloween. Check out the blog to see more photos from last month's activities, and to learn about the saints we honored for All Saints Day!

Online Giving

Lydia's House relies on the generous donations of our supporters. We are especially grateful for the recurring monthly donations that ensure we have what we need each month. With a new online donation system on our website, we now have the ability to take an e-check, which deducts your gift directly from your checking account each month. This option helps cut down on our administrative time and costs. Thank you for considering donating by e-check!
